Beautiful lyrics from a track by Erykah Badu and Robert Glasper Experiment, off one of the most epic albums I've ever heard in my LIFE.. "Black Radio".
Hello again! Its been a while since I've blogged. My past few weeks have been consumed with fasting,working,a profile interview on Vanity Case (which I need to discuss in further detail in my next post), Eid celebrations, The Mercedez Bens Fashion Week and a legendary photoshoot with Local Designer MiliJo, I havent had the time to actually sit and focus on publishing a decent post. In relation to my post topic and those beautiful lyrics I opened with, thought I'd share some positive vibrations. As of late, I've been obsessed with the term, modesty. Modesty is regarded as a certain dresscode which is intended to discourage sexual attraction.
My more recent obsession stemmed from my faith, which teaches women to cover up and be modest in our appearance and attire. What intrigues me most about this, is the wisdom behind it. A woman is very highly regarded in Islam. Contrary to popular belief, women ought to be treated gently and kindly, with much love, affection and respect. What we wear, represents who we are. The operative word here being, REPRESENTS! Its doesnt define us. As a woman, a mother, a wife and in my 28 years, I can honestly say that others show more respect towards me, when I maintain a level of SELF respect. Ladies, God has blessed us with the treasure of womanhood. Embrace it and spend time valuing yourself.... your soul... your femininity.. Our bodies are sacred..Its a temple and should be worshipped. All too often, women are objectified and this cycle must be broken. I love all women... and I think every single woman on this earth is beyond beautiful!
So I until next time, I bid you a fairwell, on what I hope would have been a thought provoking note.
